FAQ
What age group is this book for?
Which faiths are included in the book?
Was any research done for this book?
SO MUCH! More than is probably necessary for a 12-page book with less than 150 words!
We started with the internet which is full of interesting and wildly inconsistent and often inaccurate information. Then we got serious. We reached our religious experts, scholars, curators, faith leaders from around the globe and cross-referenced, checked and rechecked our facts. And at the end of all this work, we had a first version of the book that was much more detailed and in-depth on the subject but was nowhere near appropriate for our young audience.
Why do you call faith-based head coverings hats in this book?
The title of this book was chosen with the greatest of care and consideration. Extensive time was given to discussing and analysing the title with our advisors, religious scholars from all the faiths included, as well as very experienced mentors in the publishing and education sectors.
We language tested several alternative titles for accessibility before ultimately deciding to go with our current title, Hats of Faith as the appropriate entry-level introduction to faith-based head coverings.
We are committed to covering this subject in more depth within our teaching materials and explaining in detail what makes faith-based head coverings special and different from fashion-based caps and hats.
Why didn’t you include other head coverings in the book?
The goal with the book was always to celebrate the more commonly seen religious head coverings and to tell a story of the shared custom across many faiths. This meant firstly separating culture and faith, which is never easy and also not including head coverings that might be worn inside a house of faith, but not out in plain view. We also eliminated those who wear faith-based head coverings as a uniform, such as nuns as this felt like a different category. Finally, we wanted to ensure a good spread of different faiths in the book and were conscious not to focus too much on one particular faith group
We hope to one day be able to include other head coverings in future editions.
